Some pictures to inspire you

Over here at Truly Madly Vintage the lovely Hayley has been working on collating some pictures to give you style inspiration and also to help if you are looking to create a specific era look for a party or event.  You can see pages for decades from the 1930s to the 1980s below and if you double click on them you'll get a bigger picture of the images.

Don't worry if you don't think you'll remember all the details as the pages are also available in the shop for you to refer to, just ask to see them and we'll have them ready for you.

So, whether you are a vintage aficionado or new to vintage styles, take a look at lovely pictures of real people wearing the fashions of the day and be inspired...

The Vintage Home

Creating the perfect, restful and welcoming home is something that we all strive for and if vintage is your style then there are a myriad of ways that you can bring fascinating objects into your home to create the perfect look.

The current trend for vintage styling has even been picked up by The Guardian and their article on the subject is available online http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/oct/23/anatomy-of-style-vintage. 

The best thing with vintage styling is that you just can't go wrong!  Any item that you love can contribute to the look as there are no set rules about what can and cannot be included.  If you are looking for beautiful vintage items then you can go out a scour charity shops, car boot sales, antiques centres (never as expensive as they sound!) and vintage shops.
